[as raised by Thomas Roessler] "top-level domain" has a technical meaning (the last part of a hostname, .com, .org etc.).  We mean the hostname of the top-level browsing context (as defined by HTML), and I suggest the term "top-level origin" (with the meaning given, and with thanks to Adrian for the pointer)
